Or they believe they have a decent amount of stock. Im sure they know better than you, I, or the pundits.

That's a heavy assumption without any validation. Those who pre-order expeditiously, will likely have a higher chance of receiving their device in a timely fashion. But undoubtedly, this will be a very popular phone for obvious reasons. So naturally they're going to advertise this phone as they rightfully should. But Apple knows the production numbers, you don't.

I know they're going to sell out within 24 hours into 2018.
 
Type nerds...might be the perspective in the photo, but I find '3 November' still needs to scootch over a bit to the right to visually line up with the 'i' in iPhone.

(I understand the roundness of the '3' needs to 'hang', but not that much)

Not quite. I believe it has a center alignment.
